I ran that way for a while before flashing the GummyCharged ROM.
First you need to flash a custom recovery. I used Clockwork.
Next you have to flash a new Kernel. I used PeanutButta Jelly Time.
Neither mod touches your ROM at all. You'll be completely stock but with a new Voodoo enabled kernel.

I don't know for sure but I would say that you'll lose Clockwork Recovery. You may have to go through the rooting steps again. Let us know how it goes.
Noob help Just wondering if rom managers one click rom install works on the g2x. I'm a noob and don't feel comfortable doing the one click backup

yes works great, once you download you have to move it to your SD card.
also when its finish downloading i suggest that you do everything from the recover menu instead of letting rom manager do it. make sure to back up your current rom, then wipe data and cache, then install from zip from sd card.
you gotta get the one click nvflash method installed What hte previous poster didn't tell you is that if something goes wrong w/ Rom manager, you're totally hosed.
Get the Nvflash method on there.. then run rom manager all you want.. at least you have a way out if something arises..

Quick question, I did the NVFlash to install the CWM but when I first try to use the ROM Manager it says that I need to install it again? Is this right?
Do I have any need or use for the ROM Manager app after I completed the process of flashing ClockworkMod to my phone listed here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
I'm new to this thing and still trying to get a grasp.
Not needed but preferred, its an easy way to manage/update your ROMs
U flashed clockwork from rom manager I hope u get a hard brick

Did you flash CWM via NVFlash? If you just download Rom manager and clicked on flash clockworkmod recovery, and something goes wrong, you won't be able to boot into recovery to restore into a different backup.
If you did flash CWM with NVFlash then you can just keep ROM manager, it's a handy tool.
After you flashed the CWM with NVFLash, go here next http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214

Thank you. Yes, I did flash CWM via NVFlash. Then I went to the link you mentioned and rooted the phone. It was only after this that I downloaded the ROM Manager app, just not sure what it offers over what I've already done.

Convenience is all cwm offers over nvflash. As stated if you don't flash via nvflash and you get stuck in a boot loop your stuck till u nvflash the recovery.

Well it's not necessary, what I use it for is to boot into recovery, so that I don't have to turn off my phone, then hold the volume down and power button to boot into recovery. All I have to do is open ROM Manager, then click boot into recovery. You can also make backups install ROMs and update your current ROM via ROM Manager. You can do all of this without ROM Manager, but some people find it easier via ROM Manager.
Whenever i try to flash a new ROM it doesn't want to load. I've tried the CM7 nightlies and the pheonix ROM. This is what I do.
I root my phone via one click root.
Install clockwork recovery via app.
wipe
install ROM via recovery (install zip)
start up
Locks at LG screen. Ugh!
Any advice?

NO, NO, NO! It's one thing to do this, alot have, it's another to not read threads or research it.
NEVER flash CWM from an app, you HAVE TO flash via NVflash.

This is a must for the g2x. If you use from manager it only fake flashes clockwork mod recovery and makes you unable to flash roms.
Typical way to achieve root on the g2x is to.
1. Nvflash cwm
2. Create a nandroid backup.
3. Flash a rom that has root.
Don't bother with rom manager or super one click.

Just as a quick question. Does wiping the system, wipe ANY of my data? Like does it only wipe the existing ROM? Ive been confused of it since the first time i flashed a ROM

Thanks, I'll give it a shot and get back to you. I don't think it had to do with the wipe as I always ran a wipe script before installing. I thought it had to do with the kernel.... (don't have a clue though)
I'll flash the clockwork via nvflash, and get back to you, thanks.
EDIT:
IT WORKS. NVFlash the recovery, make sure to change the command if you have a different version you plan to flash/

you definitely want to do that. do you have a nandoid backup of your original system? if your phone breaks, that is the only way to revert it back to original for an exchange (unless ofcourse you take a hammer to it).
Yeah. I have a Stock froyo backup.

I think so. Catch is that I don't know if doing that will actually update anything, the whole problem is that ROM manager doesn't flash it properly/to the right place. The only thing to do is make a nandroid and try it out and if ti doesn't work, then reflash with NV flash and you're good.

Thanks Bro
Ok just got this phone and have decided to go with Phoenix Blood rom, but how do i start? I have to be on froyo to root? Im coming from samsung epic on sprint that i flashed so im not completely retarded. Thanks for any help
Use superoneclick to root on froyo.
If your on 2.3.3 gb there's a flashable. Zip in development section to root.
Also you will want to use tgagunnmans nvflash method to install clockworkmod recovery in dev section.
Phoenix blood is a great choice btw, enjoy!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
You're still on Froyo? To my understanding it's a good idea to flash the OTA GB first so that you'll get the up to date baseband. Once that's done just go ahead and flash PB.
no im on gb jsut thought i had to go back to froyo to root, so i just flash clockwork mod then pb and thats it?

Yes, but make sure you're using NVFlash to get CWM. Don't use Rom Manager.
Easiest way is using the tool unlockroot. It supports gb on the G2X. Or you can use nvflash, whichever you prefer.

If he wants to change Roms he will still need Nvflash regardless how he gets it rooted.

From that thread:
Flashing the custom recovery using NvFlash is the only way to ensure that in the case your phone will not boot up, you will be able to get into recovery to fix the issue / flash a ROM / restore from nandroid backup. That is what this app will do for you.
If you flashed the ClockworkMod recovery from ROM Manager it does not flash the recovery to your phone, it fake flashed it. The only way you can gain access to ClockworkMod recovery is through ROM Manager at that point. Using this method is the only way to flash recovery so it is persistent and accessible booting to recovery.
If you have already flashed through ROM Manager you can still proceed with this method. Flash Away!
(You can use both ROM Manager CWM and have the nvflashed version working together. You just access either or one at a time, having the nvflashed one means you can boot to CWM. Welcome to Tegra2)

Follow the link. This is a must for tegra 2 based phones. It is always better to be safe than sorry and it also allows you to do a ton of other things, such as making backups and flashing roms. Let us know if you need help. The phone is pretty much unbrickable after you do this. It gives you the ability to recover from any major mistake.
Its in the dev thread, it low level flashes clockworkmod recovery to our phones internal memory partition. You need to install apx drivers first in order for the g2x to be nvflashed.

thanks for the help guys got it all set up
Just to add in, nvflash allows u to boot into cwm recovery whenever u want and u don't need to be next to a computer. I think that is how it worked for Samsung phones and Odin, where u needed a computer, but haven't used a Samsung phone so I could be wrong. Remember always make a back up of everything and play around with the different roms, not every rom works for everyone
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Actually Odin is just like nvflash. It is used to put cwm on you phone and to put the stock recovery back on.
Once you have cwm you can flash what ever rom or kernel without the need for root. Just back up your stock unrooted stock rom before flashing anything else.
If you do that you will have your own stock backup with no need of finding it in the forums if you need to go back to stock.
